The former will serve as a mouthwatering reunion of sorts, with Zeidler lining up alongside Stefanos Ntouskos and Yauheni Zalaty. All three rowers made the podium in Shanghai, after Ntouskos beat Zeidler by 0.42s. A year previously, the German left everyone in his wake at Paris 2024, his closests challanger Zalaty having trailed him by 5.39s.The latter will see Florijn aim to dethrone reigning world champion Fiona Murtagh in a hotly anticipated showdown. Murtagh, a former coxless four specialist, has made waves in the single sculls over the past year, but she's yet to face off directly with Florijn in a major event.
